Series: Midwife (Book 4)
BIG COUNTRY. BIG SKY. BIG TROUBLE IN MONTANA.
Rushing to the aid of a pregnant woman, midwife Tab Willows arrives at
the grisly scene of a murder. Then sexy Aiden Gabriel lands his rescue
chopper and Tab comes face-to-face with her secret teenage crush-and
he's gotten only better with age.
Aiden had been unaware that Tab was back in town...and more stunning
than ever. The half-Crow beauty has always been a mystery, but she can't
hide her fear upon learning a serial killer is loose in the mountains
of Montana. Insisting she move to his ranch while the investigation
intensifies, Aiden suddenly finds his home isn't big enough. He could
swear protecting her was why he wanted her by his side. Now imagining a
life without her is why he wants her to stay.
Good book. Tab is working with Aiden's sister as her midwife when she comes onto the scene of a murder. She calls Aiden to bring his chopper so they can get Misty away from there. She'd had quite a crush on him as a teenager and it doesn't seem to have gone away. As they work together to find out who is killing young women they grow closer. I really liked both Aiden and Tab. Tab works as a midwife in her community and has become a beautiful woman. She likes what she does. Throughout the entire book she maintains a calm and steady state of mind. I liked the way she was able to think things through to help with the investigation. Her feelings for Aiden grow steadily. She is able to maintain her independence when he tries to overrule her participation without being obnoxious about it. Aiden is a great hero. He is strong enough to do what needs to be done without being arrogant and overbearing about it. He appreciates Tab's intelligence as well as her beauty. It didn't take him long to realize that he wanted to keep Tab in his life forever. Their romance was a good steady one with excellent attraction and no bad drama between them. The mystery was pretty good, too, though I did have a pretty good suspicion of who the bad guy was.
Series: Midwife (Book 3)
Staying several moves ahead has kept Troy
Weathers alive in the world's most explosive hot spots. So when this
Marine learns that Olivia Laughton is being stalked, he immediately
takes her and their unborn child on the run. His instincts tell him it
will require more than skill to keep them safe -- and to prove just how
much he wants to stay in their lives.
Olivia has no problem trusting Troy to keep her safe, or following his
orders. It's believing their one night together was more than just a
passionate fling that seems riskiest of all. Still, with time running
out and an unsuspected enemy closing in, Olivia knows Troy is her best
chance at survival…and their baby's only shot at a promising future.
Very good book. Ever since he found out she was pregnant with his child, Troy has been proposing to Olivia on a regular basis. When he came to visit her, he discovered she was being stalked and went into super protector mode. Olivia is a very independent woman and doesn't care to be thought of as Troy's responsibility. But she has no problem letting Troy protect her, especially when things really start to go bad. I really liked both Troy and Olivia. As a midwife, Olivia is used to having to think on her feet, and she is able to handle these events with no trouble. It also helps that she is the daughter of diplomats (who are also operatives). As a special ops Marine, Troy is also very good at what he does. He isn't sure if Olivia's stalker is personal, something to do with her parents, or something to do with him, but nothing is going to stop him. I loved the way that, as the days went on and they spent time together, Olivia and Troy actually spent time getting to know each other and discovering how much they had in common. Olivia quickly came to realize that she was in love with him, but wanted a real marriage not a forced one. One thing that bothered her was the dangers of his job, but she wouldn't ask him to leave it. Troy knew he cared for Olivia. He had recently begun to realize that he wanted more out of his life, like a wife and family, and was really looking forward to the arrival of the baby. He just had to convince Olivia. The action in the book was very good. I enjoyed seeing how the various players worked together, and the concluding action showed it very well. My only complaint (again/still) is that Harlequin editors still don't capitalize the word Marine.
